Coolest Pix Of 2012 Week 52

It's been quite the year, but then again, every year is quite the year. This is the last coolest pix of 2012 and it's not a pretty one.
There is still death and fighting in Syria, more gun deaths in the US and an Indian woman raped so violently she died from her injuries sparking riots in New Dehli. Time to step up to the plate India. Protect your women, they make the world go round.
I wish you all a very merry year's end and a very properous 2013. See you on the other side.
